"ASC formation, development, and reimbursement is an extremely complex arena, with both federal and state laws at issue.  Unlike the federal laws, which are uniform, the state laws differ in each state.  Yet, every time I call Amy about an ASC issue, she knows the federal and state rules off the top of her head based on the prior ASC projects she has developed in that state.   I recommend Amy to my pain physician clients, instead of national firms, because I know my client is going to get Amy from A to Z, 24/7, until the job is finished; whereas, with national firms, you get a team of people, none of whom knows the full picture and half of whom are gone by the end of the project."

"There are very few people who understand the world of ASCs and all the confusing regulations and, policies and procedures. Amy Mowles is one of the few who can guide you through this maze. She brings a wealth of experience and a no-nonsense practical approach. She is the person I turn to with all my questions about ASCs."

"When it comes to setting up, fine-tuning or completely reworking an ASC there is only one person to call: Amy Mowles. Over the years I have done a considerable amount of consulting and worked with many consultants. I have come to realize that, while many who call themselves consultants have a few good ideas and can create value for a small number of isolated clients, few really pass the test of time and consistently create value with every engagement, but that is my experience of Amy. I have never met anyone who has worked with her who did not say hiring Amy was the best thing they could have done for the practice.
Setting up an ASC is almost always the fulfillment of a vision for a group of physicians and we all know how delicate a task it is to tell a doctor that he doesnÂ’t have a clue about what he is really getting himself into. ASC regulations are probably the most complicated area of medical management that I deal with. Every state is different. So many factors must be carefully considered. It is not always easy to sort out the economic, political and strategic dimensions of a project in a clear and compelling way, but Amy always seems to find the right balance between supporting the clientÂ’s hopes and aspirations and infusing a solid dose of reality. Amy is truly a fountain of knowledge. Her analysis is rock solid.
You could spend a fortune trying to compile the pieces of her vast knowledge and still never quite achieve the perspective she provides. Her work sets a standard that the rest of us constantly strive to emulate.
I personally find every interaction with her enlightening and entertaining and consider her a valuable friend and professional resource. If too much time has gone by and we have not talked, I can be sure I will get quite a download when we do connect. I just wish I had more reason to call her. She is a lot of fun to work with."

"Mowles Medical Practice Management was indispensible in organizing a pain clinic startup for an anesthesia client. Amy provided the knowledge and experience needed to secure the first licensed and Medicare certified Ambulatory Surgery Center in our state for a pain center. Her professionalism consistently shone throughout the process, and our physicians were very pleased with the outcome. In our opinion, MMPM is unrivaled in pain clinic consultative services, and we heartily recommend them! "

"About 4 years ago, I was working with a client who had been in a prolonged process of developing an ASC but seemed to be nowhere near completion and certification. I told them to call Amy to see if she could help. They were finished and seeing patients within a short time and I have recommended Mowles Medical Practice Management with complete confidence since."
